RESUMO
A simple method of replica plating has been used to isolate mutants of Neurospora crassa that have increased sensitivity to methyl methanesulfonate (MMS) and/or to histidine. Twelve mutants with increased sensitivity to MMS and one mutant with increased sensitivity to histidine showed Mendelian segregation of the mutant phenotypes. Three mutants were mapped to loci not previously associated with MMS sensitivity. Two others were allelic to the UV- and MMS-sensitive mutant, mei-3. Survival curves indicate that conidia (mutant or wild-type) survive on much higher concentrations of MMS at 25° than at 37°. In contrast, mycelial growth is more resistant to MMS at 37°. The possibility of qualitatively different repair processes at these two temperatures is discussed.
